FLOWERY BRANCH — Julio Jones is paying early dividends after the Falcons made him the second-highest paid wide receiver in the league in July.
After Dallas wide receiver Dez Bryant signed a five-year, $70 million deal, with $45 million guaranteed, Jones inked a five-year, $71.25 million extension, with $47 million guaranteed. Detroit’s Calvin Johnson is the top paid player at the position with a deal that averages $16.2 million per year.
